1990s • Dan Post • “Blue Birds” Inlay Boots • Women’s 8 M Why We Love Them Dan Post’s Blue Birds are a love letter to 1940s inlay art—swallows in flight, heart and floral cut-outs, all on a rich chestnut hide. They wear like true stage boots: light on the foot, big in presence, and easy to dress up or down. Spec Card Maker: Dan Post Model: Blue Birds (multi-color inlay) Era: Late 1980s Early 90s Size: Women’s 8 M Shaft/Upper: Chestnut leather with robin’s-egg blue bird, red heart, and floral inlays; scalloped pull tabs Vamp: Matching chestnut leather with cut-out leaf motifs and decorative stitching Toe: Snip/pointed Heel: Western underslung (~1½”) Height: Approx. 10–11” shaft Lining: Full leather Outsole: Leather soles, stacked leather heels with rubber taps Construction: Welted Condition Notes: Honest vintage wear—toe scuffs, surface creasing, and patina throughout; soles show use but plenty of road left. Inlays are intact and secure. The Story Dan Post revived classic mid-century showboot graphics in the ‘90s, and the Blue Birds became an instant favorite. The swallow motif nods to luck and safe travels; the hearts and florals keep the look playful without losing its Western bite. Repair I took these boots to Golden Boot cobbler on West End Ave here in Nashville where they sewed up a small area along the lining that I highlighted in a picture. These boots are solid and good to go for years to come and that’s our guarantee.
